Made for the clips you generate
AI video often comes out small. Run a clip from Create video or Image to video through the upscaler before it goes into a deck, a website or a big screen.
AI video upscaler for sharper films. Two or four times larger, up to 4K.

DFIRST upscales it
Topaz Proteus enlarges every frame and restores detail. Before the result is saved, DFIRST checks that it plays, has the size you asked for, keeps the original length and still has its sound.
- 03
Download the sharper version
The upscaled MP4 is saved to your Data Room next to your other files. Download it, or keep working with it in a session: new sound, a longer edit, the next version.
Made for brands. Not a blank prompt box.
Checked before you see it
A result that does not play, comes back shorter, at the wrong size or without the original sound is stopped with a message, not saved as if it were fine.
Your sound stays
If the original has sound, the upscaled file keeps it. Want new sound instead? Send the sharper clip to Add sound to video afterwards.

Questions people ask.
About Upscale video and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.
How do I upscale a video with AI?
Upload the clip in the box above, choose 2× or 4× and continue in DFIRST. Topaz Proteus enlarges and sharpens it, and you download an MP4 up to 4K with the same length and sound as the original.
Can I upscale a video to 4K?
Yes, as long as the result fits within 4K, which is 3840 by 2160 pixels. A 1080p clip at 2× becomes 4K. At 4× the source must be 540p or smaller; a larger one is stopped with a message, so choose 2× for it.
How long can the video be?
From 1 to 30 seconds, up to 150 MB and up to 60 frames per second. MP4, MOV and WebM files are accepted, and the result is always an H.264 MP4.
Does upscaling change the length or the frame rate?
No. The clip keeps its length and its frame rate; only the width and height grow. No frames are added and nothing is slowed down, so it still fits your edit, and DFIRST compares the result with the original before it is saved.
Will it fix a blurry or shaky video?
It adds detail and sharpness as it enlarges, which helps soft or compressed footage. It does not steady a shaky camera, change the framing or bring back what was never in the shot.
Does the upscaled video keep its sound?
Yes. If the original has a soundtrack, the upscaled file keeps it, and DFIRST checks that it is there. For new effects or a soundtrack, use Add sound to video or Add music to video afterwards.
